Magnesia-Doloma refractories has advantages such as stability in alkaline environments, clean steel production, resistance to acid slag, good cement kiln coating flexibility, low production cost. It also has some weaknesses such as low resistance to thermal shock and quick hydration. In the present study using Birjand Mines Magnesite powders and Dolomites from Zefreh, Esfahan, Magnesia-Doloma clinkers were pressed under the pressure 90 MP and prepared at 1650⁰C in furnace under air atmosphere. The effect of adding 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8% of the Microparticles and Nanoparticles of α-Alumina on microstructure, physical properties, hydration resistance and Thermal shock resistance was studied.
